Damn I didn't agree with everything he said because at times I felt he was to LMSish
But the guy did bring value to the forum

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

You live in Texas? It’s a one hour flight from McAllen to Dallas. I wish he woulda been around for us to hang out, luckily there’s more Texans on this board, but I don’t think his introspective insights can be replaced for a long time.I personally knew SW15 and was informed by his mom about what happened. Out of respect for the family please stop with the negligience/insurance/who was at fault debate comments and/or take it somewhere else.
Lets keep it about SW15 and his contributions to SS.
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
I can already feel the guy's presence being lost, I feel like this board lost a note or a riff to a melody. Hopefully more newbies comes in and fills the gap, but he's irreplaceable.What a loss for the board. He was such a presence around here the entire time I've been here posting or lurking. Makes me sad. Godspeed to you SW15.
